At this point you will need to be making the choice of whether or not you will be going with your homeowners insurance or going without. OC Leak Detection will help to guide you on what your options are as well as costs are and be able to show you the extent of your water damage visually via a Flir Infrared Thermal Imaging Camera to assure you are able to make an educated decision. It is a good idea to know your deductible, this will help you to quickly know whether or not it is worth opening a claim.

This next step is very important and is required by law. Any dwelling built in Port Hueneme, Ca. prior to 1982 (this date changes so a current date would need to be obtained) needs to be tested for the presence of Asbestos and or Lead prior to any cutting or removal of materials.

Now the drying process should be started using commercial drying equipment such as industrial dehumidifiers and air movers, you should know whether or not you are going through the process of filing a claim and we have all the authorizations we need to start demo. Moisture mapping and picture taking has been completed at this point, Asbestos/Lead testing should have also been completed if needed and the removal of non-salvageable materials has commenced. Depending on the type of water damage that has occurred, plastic containment/dust barriers may need to be installed in order to keep your house clear of any kind of contamination from mold or bacteria growth.

Now that the demolition portion is completed, the commercial water damage drying equipment has been sitting in your home for a minimum of 3 days, and often it can be 4-5 days, in order to completely dry all structures and salvaged materials that were left in place. Once we verify that all materials are completely dry, we will then come back to your home and take more photos and then remove all equipment as well as do a final cleaning.

At this point, your leak has been fixed, your home no longer has water damage or the chance for mold or bacterial growth. Looking around, you will have places where sections (large or small) of drywall were removed, maybe cabinets or even carpet or flooring are now gone. Where do you go from here? Unfortunately this next portion, which we call "put back" or the rebuild process, is not something that we handle. We then will hand you off to our good friends over at Emercon Construction 949-204-7130.
